Reviews
Praise for Difficult Women : "The characters who inhabit Difficult Women . . . aren't just characters. They are our mothers, sisters and partners. They are human. They are us."-- USA Today (4/4 stars) "Gay has fun with these ladies . . . With Difficult Women , you really have no idea what's going to happen next."-- New York Times Book Review "Gay excels in her allowance for human complexity . . . One of the book's greatest achievements is Gay's psychological acuity."-- Washington Post "Because Gay is such a vivid writer, her stories have a remarkable visual sweep . . . Gay writes of chances missed and unexpected joy, love gone awry or resurrected, and the slivers of hope that keep these fascinating women alive."-- Boston Globe "She slips seemingly effortlessly among the voices of these different, difficult women . . . It feels like the book we have been waiting for Gay to write."-- Los Angeles Times "I'm currently reading Difficult Women , by Roxane Gay, and I'm getting my life from it . . . Roxane Gay seems to have a knack for fearlessly telling the truth. Even in her fiction."--Gabourey Sidibe, The New York Times Book Review ("By the Book") "Gay's signature dry wit and piercing psychological depth make every story mesmerizingly unusual and simply unforgettable."-- Harper Bazaar "In so many ways, Gay's Difficult Women feel simultaneously fictitious and like they could (and probably do) live right down the street. Perhaps they even live inside of our coworkers, our friends, our sisters and ourselves . . . Gay's writing is unparalleled."-- Forbes "The stories, phenomenally powerful and beautifully written, demonstrate the threats so many women in reality face, but also how, whatever their situation, they have agency, resilience and identities away from stereotypes created and reinforced by men."-- The Guardian (UK) "With beauty and realism, Difficult Women is an incisive look at the many different experiences of womanhood and the haunting, healing moments that define relationships between women of all ages and backgrounds."-- City Weekend ("Three Picks For May 2017") (China) "The emotional and interior lives of her difficult women are authentic and affecting."-- The Spinoff (New Zealand) "This collection begs for a slow, serious reading."-- Minneapolis Star Tribune "Gay expands her writing prowess with this collection featuring colorful women protagonists . . . Refreshing yet intricate . . . This work will appeal to lovers of literary and feminist fiction."-- Library Journal (Starred review) "Gay brings the powerful voice that flows through her work as a novelist and cultural critic to the 21 short stories in her first collection . . . Gay's 'difficult women' are unforgettable."-- BBC.com "Gay tells intimate, deep, wry tales of jaggedly dimensional women . . . Be they writer, scientist, or stripper, Gay's women suffer grave abuses, mourn unfathomable losses, love hard, and work harder."-- Booklist "A powerful collection of short stories about difficult, troubled, headstrong, and unconventional women . . . Whether focusing on assault survivors, single mothers, or women who drown their guilt in wine and bad boyfriends, Gay's fantastic collection is challenging, quirky, and memorable."-- Publishers Weekly "A collection of short stories that will make your spine tingle with intrigue."-- Bustle.com "Astonishing, arresting, and staggering."-- Book Riot "Unified in theme--the struggles of women claiming independence for themselves--but wide-ranging in conception and form . . . Gay is an admirable risk-taker in her exploration of women's lives and new ways to tell their stories."-- Kirkus Reviews

Synopsis
A national bestseller from the "prolific and exceptionally insightful" (Globe and Mail) Roxane Gay, Difficult Women is a collection of stories of rare force that paints a wry, beautiful, haunting vision of modern America. Difficult Women tells of hardscrabble lives, passionate loves, and quirky and vexed human connection. The women in these stories live lives of privilege and of poverty, are in marriages both loving and haunted by past crimes or emotional blackmail. A pair of sisters have been inseparable ever since they were abducted together as children, and, grown now, must negotiate the elder sister's marriage. A woman married to a twin pretends not to realize when her husband and his brother impersonate each other. A stripper putting herself through college fends off the advances of an overzealous customer. A black engineer moves to Upper Michigan for a job and faces the malign curiosity of her colleagues and the difficulty of leaving her past behind. From a girls' fight club to a wealthy subdivision in Florida where neighbors conform, compete, and spy on each other, Gay gives voice to a chorus of unforgettable women in a scintillating collection reminiscent of Merritt Tierce, Anne Enright, and Miranda July., A national bestseller from the "prolific and exceptionally insightful" ( Globe and Mail ) Roxane Gay, Difficult Women is a collection of stories of rare force that paints a wry, beautiful, haunting vision of modern America.
